What an ordeal, just to be able to play a video (and then you're still

outside of what is provided from SuSE (maybe 2 or 3). Mostly software
that
comes with its own installation script. I've also never gotten anything
off
of packman. I just took a look out there and found gxine, xine-lib,
xine-skins, and xine-ui packages. Looks like there's only one kaffeine
package to worry about. So if I just install each of those packages
should
that do the trick?
You're making things way too complicated, futzing around with individual
downloads from here and there. Life will be a lot simpler when you just let
the computer do the work. Use whatever package management system you want -
yast, smart, apt, yum or whatever. Add the packman repos, and then tell the
system to install a media player of your choice. It could be kaffeine,
mplayer, xine or whatever you prefer. The package management system will
then
automagically pull in and install all the dependencies. If you want to play
dvds, also install the dvdcss libs, last I heard they were available on the
vlc site.

I've never added a third party repo before, but I assume all I need is the
url. So, I went to the faq on the packman site to try to get that url. I
went to the Help tab and clicked on the "Packman FAQ" link and it was
written a foreign language (German?). Could you tell me what URL I need to
add to YAST to get access to these packages?
Thanks,
